translation

the context: one resistance chief speaking to his aide about the information they're hoping to get:

"Et votre equipe de filature?"

is this a slang expression, meaning your crew which collects information?

Yes. "prendre quelqu'un en filature" means to follow someone while trying not to been seen. So, "une équipe de filature" is a crew whose job is to follow as discretely as possible someone and collect information about this person.
